Any thrift stores where you can fill a bag up full of clothes for one price in the area?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this about Goodwill. I've stopped going to Goodwill in this area since 99% of the time it's a waste of time.

The Durham Rescue Mission on 15-501 usually had a great selection of clothes though I don't know if they ever do bag sales.

Some people avoid Goodwill stores because the company officers are overpaid.

"As president of the Goodwill Community Foundation, Dennis McLain directs a chain of 36 stores stretching from Durham to Jacksonville, selling used sport coats and secondhand dresses to some of North Carolina’s poorest citizens. ... But McLain receives an uncommonly large portion of the nonprofit’s generosity, earning more than $430,000 a year in pay and other benefits ... His wife, Linda, Goodwill’s executive vice president, brings home $365,000, according to nonprofit disclosure forms filed with the Internal Revenue Service for 2011."

Well someone once said some of the best money to be made out there is in being in charge of helping the poor

I know this is an old zombie thread that has come back from the dead, but in case anyone really wants to know about the original question, the PTA Thrift Stores in Chapel Hill and Carrboro run "Bag Days" regularly. I think they do it seasonally to get ready for the new stock and then everything you can put in a brown grocery bag is $1 per bag.
